certainly choosing couple decision easier guys job last position recognized team tough unselfish
They are all very unselfish guys and that certainly will make my job easier (in choosing who plays). While it's a tough decision to make, they have recognized it, and, that position has epitomized the unselfishness on this team the last couple of years.
ball call decision easy great guy inside
On a fourth-and-one with a guy like Jerome Bettis, it's an easy call to make. Down around the goal, he's got a great feel for that. As long as the ball was on the one or inside the one, it was really an easy decision to make.
decision game gotten half last legitimate overtime second series wish
It's a legitimate question, ... As the second half unfolded, unfortunately we did not have Jerome in the game. I wish I would have gotten him in. He was not in the game in the last series of overtime because he had not been in the game in the second half. That's a decision that I am responsible for.
decisions game good looked
I thought the game slowed down for him this week. He made good decisions and looked comfortable out there. When you've been out that long, you have to get back up to game speed.
absence decision move ready
It is an unexcused absence. I'm very disappointed in his decision and we are ready to move on with or without him.

advice certainly decision happens share situation wants
If that's the right situation for him, I would talk. If he wants any advice from me, I'd give it to him. Certainly the decision would be his and I'd share with him any advice that I would give to him. We'll see what happens and we'll go from there.
choices deal dealt decisions mindset talking thinking time waste whatever
Whatever happens, and you kind of deal with the circumstances that you are dealt with. I think, at this point, that is the mindset that we have to have and we will deal with whatever decisions or other choices we have at that time. I am not going to waste any time thinking about that or talking about that.
advice anybody certainly couple decision dream next opportunity saw stop sure talk wants
I just saw him briefly after the game. It was kind of a whirlwind. I'm sure we'll talk in the next couple of days. I've never been one to stop anybody from having an opportunity to live out a dream ... If he wants any advice from me, I'd give it to him, but certainly the decision would be his.
decision
I haven't really made a decision at this point. That'll be a game-day decision.
certainly choice decision knew mike respected talking
I knew Mike, obviously, beforehand, and then after talking with him, it was kind of a no-brainer. I think it was a choice up to Mike and I certainly respected any decision that he made.

continue desperate giving people seven somewhat team weeks
We've been somewhat of a desperate team for a long time. I think we need to continue to play that way. Like I said before, we are still the same team that, seven weeks ago, not a lot of people were giving us a chance.
access chances limit plenty talk tried
We just tried to limit Ben's access this week. You'll all have plenty of chances to talk to him.
